Rapid escape in Wels: 20-year-old after horror crash in custody!

Linz, Österreich - In Wels there was a dramatic incident that now employs the public prosecutor. On January 31, a 20-year-old man with Serbian-Hungarian citizenship was caught in a nerve-wracking persecution after gripping police strips with speeds of up to 250 km/h over the B1. The hunt began when he drove over a locking line that should have moved him to stop. Instead, he fled, ignored red traffic lights and continued dangerous overtaking maneuvers, which endangered numerous other road users, such as .

Unfortunately, this risky journey ended in a serious accident at the Trauner crossing, where the young man crashed into several standing cars with over 160 km/h. Both the driver and his passenger, two police officers and another road user were seriously injured. The Wels public prosecutor's office assumes a conditional killing facility, since there are at least five dangerous situations with up to 20 affected vehicles that brought the lives of many people in danger, said prosecutor's spokesman Christoph Weber. The young man, who had no valid driver's license, admitted during his arrest that he did not panic, out of fear of not getting his driver's license back after he had previously lost his permission in another incident.

arrest warrant triggered

on February 5, a few days after the terrible incident, the Wels public prosecutor's office issued an arrest warrant against the driver. He was arrested at his residential address in Linz after he fled over the balcony, but was ultimately caught by the emergency services at 6:09 p.m. The situation was so critical that a large contingent of the police and rescue workers was necessary to secure the scene of the accident and to provide the people concerned. The investigation is still underway, and it remains to be seen which legal consequences the young man has to be expected.
